Dogs make Better Pets than Cats

[frenzl]

i know that every animal can act differently but on the whloe dogs are way better. some cats seem as though they are autistic and just walk around and hit the toy mouse. dogs usually are more playfull and wag their tail and play with you and do tricks. but in the defense of cats some can do tricks too but they seem to be more in their wold and not to worried about you.

p.s. the worst thing in the world is a fat cat. i just want to strangle it for its own good.

I tried to play frisbee with my cat but, well, the cat didn't take too kindly to the experience. Either as the frisbee or as the creature receiving the frisbee. My dog on the other hand...

Take it easy.

What, no adoring pictures of the pets? C'mon guys, pony 'em up! (Unless Craig objects to the gratuitous use of disk space for gooey pet pix)

If you are a Cat fan, what do you say in defence of the puddy cat?

Well, they are stupidly funny. My cat got himself caught on a glue trap yesterday... Other than that, dogs are better...

It just so happens that I have a couple pictures of my cat sitting on my webspace!

There, no wasting of Craig's disk space needed. Too bad he always looks away from the camera when I try to take a picture...

My cat's orange and has long hair, like yor cat so when he got himself stuck it was that much harder to get him unstuck.

I'm a cat person myself and I love my cats to death. Sometimes they remind me of dogs though, they do tricks...for a price though(so demanding all they want are treats, treats, and more treats) and if you pet them enough they drool. good stuff, the tricks that is, not the drool...

How fat? My cat's rather overweight, but not really fat.

Psycho tale of the cats: One time my cat escaped my grandparents' house and wandered around to the back, where they have a large screened in porch. The orange cat happened to be on this porch, and took the opportunity to have one of his psychotic episodes (and continued to relapse several times for the next week). Have you ever tried throwing something through a screen? Even something pretty heavy? It's tough. With something the mass of a cat, you'd need a MLB pitcher at least to get it through a standard screen. Yet this cat launched himself through the screen to attack the other. After a minute, when he realized he wasn't going to win, he went back through the screen. Through a new hole. He launched himself through it TWICE, one spot on top of the other, two completely separate holes.

For any of you that have cats. Try taking a plain wet noodle, and putting it on their back. My cat freaks out.

I have a cat that demands to be let out.
He used to wake me at 5, yes, folks, that 5 a.m., to let him out to do his hunting and his other business. Thankfully, after staying with my nice and nephew's cats, he's since learned some 'civlilsed' behaviour. But I'm sure that has negatively affected his hunt.

My cat sometimes demands to be walked.

when we used to live on the 2nd floor, i let him down to the common area using a roped milk crate. That's the easy part. I was dreading how to get him back in the milk crate.

I worried too much. He didn't need to be shown twice. He knew the milk crate was his way home... So all I had to do was to lower the crate and whistle and he'd come and climb in the crate and i'd haul him up.

The first time this happened, my downstairs neighbour who has 2 in-door cats of his own, stood there literally with his chin to the floor.

I should have taken a foto of that.

Haha wow. Nicely done pkt! Wish my cat did that. At least she comes when you call her. That's nice.

[Tireur]

My learned to turn the doorknob and let himself in the utility room, in case it was left closed.................

Like I said, If they could run the can opener, they'd rip your lungs out.

I love both animals, but there's two simple items that make cats better than dogs. If you ever happen to be in possession of a laser pointer or (for some cats) even a simple flashlight as little fluffy walks down the hall, well heh heh...you can have some real fun with cats when that hunting instinct kicks in. You can even make a sort of game of it. Gather your friends and see who can get the cat to run in the most complex patterns. Alternately for single play, see how long it takes your cat before they fall down from dizziness.

I've seen dogs do the exact same thing. We had hours of fun watching the dog try to bite the spot on the carpet...

[Iwant2bafencer]

When we first took my dog camping, we were walking somewhere at night and my dad turned on our big maglight. My dog flipped, he chased that thing all over. We figured he'd never seen one. It took him years to stop chasing the flashlight beam. It was a sad day when he did stop. No more entertainment.

[EvilWeasle]

I myself have both a cat and a dog, all though not at the same house. and I have set the this right, once and for all, never to be questioned, the absolute truth. and that truth is that MY FERRET COULD BEAT THREE PINTES OF HELL OUT OF THEM BOTH!

glad we got that out of the please feel free to try and prove me wrong (i would indeed be disapionted if non do.) in the spirit of good natured argument every where, let the descution continue.

just as an after thought it ocurs to me that this post may be deveating slightly to much from the topic of the thread, if that's the case, and i am a fool at times, than feel free to pass this post up.

[Soldier]

So long as we're being fools, yes, ferrets are awesome, too. Once they're descented.

cats are better

[damion18d]

Funny how if you read this from begining to end the people who like cats seem to like that they have dog personality traits. I have met both cats and dogs that I like but if I had to choose I'd take a dog everytime. I venture to say I'd take a dog I didn't like over a cat I did. I just have this weird dislike of cats. They just seem shifty, like people have said "arrogant". Dogs just always seemed more useful to me also and definitly more loyal.

Dogs are for the straight man. Cats are for gay men or women.
